"My concern is for your well-being," Kane said. "These are very serious charges."

But Nagy refused to move forward with the hearing.

According to Wilkes-Barre police:

The assault started March 25 when Bobbett overheard Nagy telling her friend she no longer wanted to be with him. Bobbett called Nagy into their bedroom and started beating her with an extension cord before hitting her with a rod or pole. He then powered up a saw and cut Nagy's forehead before she blacked out.

Nagy woke up about three hours later to Bobbett wrapping her head in a bandage. She was covered in blood and told Bobbett she needed to go to the hospital.

Bobbett drove her to the hospital, where she received six staples in her head and was treated for a broken rib, a broken collar bone, a cut to her neck, and numerous bruises all over her body, arrest papers said.

Assistant District Attorney Cara Solimine said she was going to look into re-filing the charges against Bobbett, but as of Thursday, he set to be released from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility.
